Motorcyclist in hospital with serious injuries

A motorcyclist was in the hospital with serious injuries after colliding with a car on U.S. 87 just north of FM 1585 early Thursday morning.

David Shaw, 28, of College Station was driving north on U.S. 87 in a 2013 Toyota Prius. Larry Young, 58, of Lubbock was driving north, entering onto U.S. 87 at the on-ramp north of FM 1585 on a 2008 Yamaha motorcycle.

Young changed from the right lane to the left lane, directly in the path of Shaw. The Prius struck the back of the Yamaha, knocking Young from the motorcycle.

Young was transported by EMS to UMC hospital in Lubbock with serious injuries.
